Indicative conversion only. Banks and money changers add a margin to the NRB reference rate and may apply buy/sell spreads and fees, so the amount you actually receive will differ. For INR the peg is a policy parity, not necessarily the cash rate at a counter.
The US Dollar floats against the Nepali rupee. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) publishes an official reference rate once each banking day, derived from the currency's value against the US dollar (since the NPR is anchored to the dollar via the Indian rupee).
To get an exact figure, take today's NRB rate (NPR per 1 USD) from the official forex page and enter it in the converter above. Remember that banks and remittance firms add a margin, so the amount you actually receive is a little less than the reference rate implies.
Remittance note: United States is a major source of inward remittance for Nepal. When sending money home, compare the remittance company's effective rate (after fees and margin) against the NRB reference rate to see the real cost.
